The Best of Holland and Belgium

We had a great time from beginning to end. The bikes were comfortable to ride, the crew and the guide were all very friendly and the food was great.

The boat was beautiful, and the staff wonderful, however it was a party boat, with no ‘quiet hours’ in the evening, so we were kept awake every night by the loud, druken party groups. Luckily we had paid for a suite, and at the very back of the boat, or it would have been awful (it was for some of the other participants). I also signed up for self-guided biking, but when we got there we were told we couldn’t do that, so we were stuck biking with the party groups (from beer stop to beer stop). It wasn’t so great. Though the guides themselves were great. I wouldn’t do it again, I was looking forward to a different experience than we had. It was a great concept.

Dear Sonya, We are sorry to read that you've had a not so positive experience. It does sometimes happen that there are guests on board who make it a little too sociable. We are sorry that you were unable to sleep well. Of course this is something we cannot prevent, but we will contact the tour guide and the crew, so that they will pay more attention in the future and can address similar party animals. What should not have happened is that you could not go cycling on your own. We do not understand why you were told that this was not possible. Our apologies. We will address this with the tour guides. We hope you will change your mind about returning to try it once more, because we know this was not a regular experience. Kind regards, Team Boat Bike Tours

From start to finish this was the BEST trip I have ever taken! The barge was comfortable and clean. The staff was outstanding. You could not ask for a better crew. Every crew member worked hard to make the trip special for everyone. Our bike tour guides were fun, knowledgeable, and provided a safe journey for everyone. Our chef was top notch. The food was tasty, beautifully plated and more than enough to eat. Our chef even prepared a nice afternoon snack (hot out of the oven) for our return from a day of biking. I would take this trip again!

I really enjoyed the combination of biking and living on a boat for a week, especially in Belgium and Netherlands where the waterways run through such lovely countryside and the bike paths are everywhere. My favorite part was getting to know the crew and my fellow-bikers during the rides and the meals, and laughing together after a day of biking. The meals were in a category of their own: Excellent, varied and innovative (bravo, Chef Michael). Our tour guide was a true expert on the places we visited and knew the territory like the back of her hand. I also enjoyed the good-naturedness of the captain, his assistant skipper, our tour guide and the wonderful hostesses who served our meals and kept the boat so clean. They treated us like friends and never seemed to be too busy to help us. Even better, when I hurt my knee on a ride, they really made me feel welcome to stay on the boat and rest. And now I miss them! Great experience, one of a kind.

Personal attention, fun, positive, informative, part of the family, great chef with daily menu, comfortable rooms, great attention to personal needs. We miss the crew. You are the best by far exceeding the following “higher” end river cruise we are currently taking.

What a wonderful week we had with Boat&Bike! Our boat crew was warm & friendly including Andries the captain with his assistant, Thomas, & Corrie our tour guide, Michael the chef, and our lovely hostesses, Annika & Elsie. Our group rode through beautiful countryside every day that included excursions. My very favorite was the cheese farm. Thank you for outstanding service!

Wij, jan (83) en marijke (73), hebben een heerlijke reis gemaakt van Amsterdam naar Brugge. De combinatie fietsen en varen was prima. De boot is gezellig, niet te veel mensen, hartelijke en zorgzame crew, uitstekend eten en mooie begeleide fietstochten. Daarnaas afwisselende excursies in Dordrecht, Antwerpen, Gent en brugge. Fietsen kan ook individueel. Kortom een aanrader voor iedereen die van fietsen en cultuur houdt en zich graag laat verwennen.
